Formula 1 #6

[Mocaacom]

Totally understand why Mercedes are protesting and I agree masi handled the last lap awfully
But can they penalise max and effectively take away his championship because the FIA applied rules badly? That doesn’t seem fair either. I don’t know what a good outcome here is.

It happens so often in football that a ref makes a bad call for offside or handball or whatever and that costs a team victory - that doesn’t mean the other team should be punished.

Mercedes should have pitted Lewis they’ve only themselves to blame for not doing that

Haas said Mick has spoken to his mum . Just reminds me how young he is.
The track is a nightmare. Radio 5 were saying the barriers aren’t up to scratch. It’s too fast for a street circuit.

How scary for his mum. Hopefully, he isn't too rattled by it but it looked brutal.

 

[SmoochL]

Wooow still in shock from the race.
Honestly, what was that? FIA were awful the whole season, mistake after mistake.
Poor Lewis, he deserved the title, amazing drive today.

But, can we get redo of today's race? That would be fair and cool (from a fan perspective)

Conscious and speaking to the doctors. Poor mick I have everything crossed he’s okay.

That track layout... I thought it was an April fool's joke at first

 

[Red hair dont care]

Apparently Christian was straight over to Mercedes to offer handshakes. Trying to be a good sport, but definitely there to be a twat and wind up people.

Him.on that podium
Just a smug m-f

I'm only now watching the final episode of Drive to Survive. It brings back what a shitshow it was. How anyone can think that Max actually deserved to win the Championship like that is beyond me. And i say that as someone was was not a big fan of Lewis!

I also thought that George didnt come across very well in the episodes he appeared in.

 

[Rubythefirebat]

I am way to nervous for this weekend. It would be amazing if Lewis wins, such a historic moment. I also agree with Fernando, that Max worked way harder than anyone this year with a weaker car, he would deserve it. I also has a soft spot for him, after all those shit he got for joining F1 at 17.
Also Kimi... I am not ready for that at all.

Can we start the new season already?

I don't know how it took me so long to find that there is a thread solely dedicated to formula 1 . Kept processing all the last few months emotions on my own, lmao.
I'll read through the thread now, but God, I'm so happy to have found you all !

The lady in white . . . In white. . . Her face looks weird. I hardly recognised her.

I’m no Hamilton fan but being penalised for missing the ceremony is stupid and a little petty

I wish her and CH would fuck all the way off.
Equally Lewis was getting his knighthood yesterday France has banned the UK so what heck why keep punishing Lewis.

Admittedly I was team Max but not even I wanted Max to win like that

 

[Heidi88]

I have turned into a Lewis fan since Sunday! To be honest I wasnt his biggest fan before this but he has handled all of this mess so graciously he has really changed my opinion.

I love the photos with his Mum today. I've never seen a photo of her before. They both looked great.

 

[90sgirl]

I think this is defiantly needed!

 

[Red hair dont care]

I knew this was gonna happen. Just had a feeling he was likely to end up leaving the team.

Daddy Stroll control's pretty much everything

 

[Daddy Cool]

I don’t have any sympathy for Mazepin he has accepted his dads money as his dad bought him that seat so imo he is not against anything his father does.

 

[Heidi88]

Lewis Dad congratulated Max. If the situation was reversed can you imagine Jos doing the same?!

 

[Behtannkneeky]

Looks like Pato O’Ward will be picking up the young driver FP1 sessions this year with McLaren. I’m really starting to feel like McLaren see Pato as Daniel’s future replacement when his retirement comes. Will be interesting to see how this develops

 

[Lola123]

Would just be nice to have a different winner every race will never happen but I can but dream

 

[stevieelanee]

I like the helmet but at the same time I do wish he kept the number 33. Idk changing it to 1 just seems to prove a point, in my opinion.

 

[Red hair dont care]

From 24 races to 30 a season?!?
So race from Feb to Dec? Maybe too many as much as I enjoy the races maybe think of the drivers for once instead of money.
